The Spill at Rise

After a little hiatus, we're back behind the mics and catching up on everything. From life updates and behind-the-scenes happenings to random tangents and stories we've been saving, this episode is basically one big catch-up session. Grab a drink and come hang out while we spill what's been going on.

Perfection sounds productive… but it’s usually just fear in disguise. We’re talking about progress, momentum, and why taking action (even if it’s messy) is what actually moves your life forward.

In this episode, we’re officially normalizing thinking highly of yourself. We talk about confidence vs ego, why people get uncomfortable when you know your worth, and how being secure actually makes life more fun. Equal parts laughs, honesty, and gentle call-outs.

Before we fully move on, Haley and Sarah are hitting pause to look back at pop culture in 2025. This episode is a recap of the moments that stuck with us — viral trends, celebrity moments, internet conversations, and cultural shifts that shaped the year in small (and big) ways. It’s fun, reflective, and very much a “remember when this happened?” kind of conversation.

In this chaotic-but-cute episode, Traci and Haley attempt — like,  really  attempt — to set goals and intentions for the new year without getting completely sidetracked. We talk about the vibes we’re bringing into next year, the energy we’re leaving behind, and the questionable choices we made over the weekend. It’s silly, unserious, and full of the kind of girl math logic that somehow makes sense...

In this week’s episode, we’re diving into the truth that change isn’t always something to fear—sometimes it’s exactly what we need. Inspired by the famous fig tree analogy from  The Bell Jar , we chat about how overwhelming it can feel to choose a path… and how empowering it is to finally pick a fig and trust yourself. We also get real about why we assume everyone is “going through something,” and...

The girls are catching up!!  Dancing with the Stars  updates, pop culture moments that no one asked for but we’re discussing anyway, and Haley’s birthday recap (spoiler: she thrived). It’s unserious, mildly delusional, and exactly the kind of episode you put on when you need to laugh at nothing and everything all at once.

This week we’re spilling on the generational blame game — Boomers vs. Millennials vs. Gen Z. Are younger generations actually lazy, or just done playing by outdated rules? We’re talking money, motivation, and why everyone’s a little bit tired (for very different reasons).

Taylor Swift is back and she’s taking center stage. In this episode, we dive into her new album  Life of a Showgirl , track by track. We’re talking themes, lyrics, and the evolution of Taylor’s storytelling. From the glitz to the heartbreak, we share our first impressions, favorite songs, and what this era says about where Taylor’s headed next.

This week we’re joined by our guest host Sarah for a packed episode of laughs and hot takes. We start with a recap of  Dancing with the Stars  and all the standout moments, then switch gears to share the cozy details from our Fall Favorites party. And because we can’t resist diving into the wild side of reality TV, we unpack our recent run-in with the strangest dating show we’ve ever seen:  Naked...

In this episode, we bounce around between judging others (and ourselves), the messy art of forgiveness, and how our frame of reference changes everything. It’s part heart-to-heart, part therapy session, and part comedy hour. Traci shares some of her own experiences, we laugh at ourselves along the way, and hopefully leave you feeling a little lighter about the whole “being human” thing.

This week we’re diving into the idea that sometimes the very boundaries we set to protect ourselves can actually hold us back. We talk about what it looks like to put boundaries on your boundaries and why too many walls can keep you from real growth. We also get into the trap of comparing success with others—and how focusing on your own path matters more than what anyone else is doing. Of course,...

We survived summer and we’re finally back ! This one’s all over the place—in the best way. From random life recaps to our unfiltered thoughts on Taylor and Sabrina’s new albums, consider this episode a mix of hot takes, brain dumps, and all the post-summer chaos you didn’t know you needed.

This week, Haley shares the play-by-play of a fresh ghosting that still stings, while Sarah opens up about a ghost from her past she just can’t quite let go of. From false starts to unfinished conversations, the girls unpack the confusing, frustrating, and sometimes hilarious realities of being left in the dark. It's not just about the texts that stopped coming—it's about the stories we te...

This week, we’re unpacking how the world has become so “therapized” that many people use emotional discomfort as a reason to check out — from friendships, commitments, and even their own growth. But here's the truth: being scared, anxious, or sad doesn’t mean you’re not supposed to do the thing. It just means you're human. We talk about why growth requires discomfort, why emotions aren&#39...

We’re breaking down the first half of Mel Robbins’ viral concept and sharing our own stories of when we tried (and failed) to just  let them.  From overthinking texts to silently screaming in group chats, we’re unpacking what it really feels like to loosen the grip and let people be who they are—even when it drives us nuts. Buckle up for laughs, honesty, and a little bit of therapy in podcast form...

In this episode, we’re diving deep into the battle between men and monogamy, with a  Temptation Island  twist. We’ll break down the chaos, the red flags, and why it feels like commitment is the ultimate challenge for modern men. Is it just a reality TV disaster, or does  Temptation Island  mirror a bigger issue in dating today? Tune in for some laughs, some head-shaking, and maybe a few harsh trut...

Traci and Haley dive into the questionable state of men’s flirting tactics and how the culture of going out has changed (spoiler: it’s not great). They also recap their St. Patrick’s Day weekend festivities, break down the latest pop culture moments, and share thoughts on new must-watch shows—including the shocking Ruby Franke documentary.

Life in your late 20s hits different—some friends are planning wild girls’ trips, while others are packing diaper bags. In this episode, Haley and Sarah chat about how their recent vacations (one with the girls, one with a new baby) highlighted the different phases of life they’re in and how friendships evolve along the way. They dive into the importance of prioritizing your girl friendships, even...

This week, Traci and Haley dive into the unique experience of being a woman in Utah (or anywhere, really) and navigating the pressure to settle down, pop out kids, and stick to society’s so-called “ideal” timeline. They get real about what it’s like when all your friends are in a different life stage, how to stay confident in your own path, and why doing things your way is actually the biggest fle...

Ever wondered what life would look like if you took a completely different path? In this episode, Traci and Haley dive into the big (but also kinda fun) existential question:  What would we be doing if we weren’t doing this?   From unexpected career swaps to wild dream jobs, they explore the idea of reinvention and what it really means to shake things up. Plus, they break down the latest  Love Is...

We’re back, baby! 🎉 Season 2 kicks off with Traci and Haley diving back into all the girly chats, life updates, and a much-needed recentering. And what better way to start than with a little chaos?

We’re breakin...
